5.2 Patch was harsh on Assassin Users

OBF VT Machine··2 votes·962 views

In the new 5.2 update most of Assassins were terribly nurfed although it wasnt that great of a change but it affected the gameplay way too much. For example Zed this update lowered his attack speed by a bit and that completely change his build in a way theres no point to build bork and last whisper because it doesnt affect him as much as how use to be. Another example some Akali mains would agree with the disadvantages that 5.2 changed akali same goes for Fizz it became much harder to maintain your lane. I'm just hoping that these changes to the assassins will soon changed so that their gameplay improves

Zed's nerf was 100% useless. Akali's nerf was needed. Fizz's nerf was just to stop him face-rolling.

I fail to see OP's point.

Akali was clunkified and has dropped to one of the lowest winnrates in the game.

Fizz quickly on his way to the bottom of the barrel as well.

Syndra Not quite an assassin, but also nerfed to the bottom.

While some nerfs might have been justified, they were too severe IMO.

Checking ProBuilds it looks like every single Zed is still building the exact same fucking way.

Assassins deserved to be nerfed, so they got nerfed. Why should the nerfs be reverted?

Everybody want to jump the "assassin feelo" bandwagon because they're sick of being destroyed so quickly/efficiently by them. The assassin users problem is that we want to see our champions balanced, not gutted.
